Former President Donald Trump told supporters at a victory celebration early Wednesday morning in Florida that his election to a second term was “a great victory for the American people.”

Trump addressed the crowd gathered at the Palm Beach County Convention Center at 2:30 a.m. ET after winning three crucial swing states — North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

The former president, who defeated then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to win the election in 2016 and lost to then-Vice President Joe Biden in 2020, surpassed the 270 electoral votes needed for re-election at 5:34 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

During the 25-minute speech, Trump said the campaign had “overcome hurdles that no one thought possible,” alluding to two assassination attempts during the summer campaign.
